Position and Arrangement Patterns

Position-based patterns focus on where shapes appear within each box — not what the shapes are, but where they are placed. These rules can be subtle because your eye naturally focuses on the shapes themselves rather than their spatial arrangement. Training yourself to notice positional patterns is a significant advantage.

How Position Is Defined in AR Boxes

Each box in an AR question can be mentally divided into regions:

┌─────────────────────┐
│ Top-left  │  Top-right  │
│           │             │
├───────────┼─────────────┤
│ Bottom-left│ Bottom-right│
│           │             │
└─────────────────────┘

Or more precisely:

Region	Description
Centre	The middle of the box
Top	Upper portion
Bottom	Lower portion
Left	Left side
Right	Right side
Corners	Top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right
Edges	Along the sides but not in the corners

Category 1: Fixed Position Rules

A shape always appears in the same position across every box.
